Grouville Hoard, Celtic coin collection in Grouville, Jersey.

The Grouville Hoard contains approximately 70,000 Celtic and Roman coins fused together in a clay mass weighing 750 kilograms.

Metal detectorists discovered the collection in 2012 after searching for three decades, following leads about silver coins found by farmers in the 1980s.

The coins originated from multiple Celtic tribes in Brittany and Normandy, including the Curiosolitae who minted currency near present-day Saint-Malo.

Visitors can examine the hoard at La Hougue Bie Museum, where conservation experts continue to extract individual items from the clay mass.

The collection includes two gold torcs, silver bracelets, gold sheets, fine silver wire, and glass beads alongside the extensive coin assemblage.
